California State University-Sacramento Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Eric

I wish I had known that there were going to be continuous fee hikes every semester I am here. I thought tuition was going to stay the same for most of my college career. I'm taking so many units that I have no time for a job and that makes it even tougher to be able to afford school and live on my own.

Rosalyn

The communication problems.

Samuelu

Before attending the school, I wished I would have learned more about each of the majors offered. Even though Career Fairs were offered and gave a detailed description of each profession, I wished I would have been introduced to these careers at an early age.

Karen

I wished that I knew about the requirements for the classes. For example, the general education. There were so many classes and requirements that I had to take before my major classes. I thought it would be very easy to get in and very focused onto major core classes for four years.

Leah

I'm glad I didn't know much about this school before coming in. It gave me a lot of reasons to explore the school campus and ask questions about the school. If I had known more information about this school before coming in, I would not have been able to socially interact with others.

Eboni

The independence of being in college and planning out classes, I was almost thrown into the lion's den after freshman year and I wish I would had utilized the academic advising more as a sophomore.

kimberly

I wish I had known the classes would be so large and difficult to get in to.

Vita

Not to rush getting a lot of classes at once, pace yourself and you will get good grades. Don't expect to not study and get good grades. Don't procrastinate.

Chertia

More information about the many programs offered.

Whitley

I wish I had known how hard it is to get a job on campus and how far most of the commutes are, unless you live on campus.
